Cool flowers I have to snap a picture of---plus a few trees and plants

New flowers always makes me smile... This has little heart shape yellow leafs and white flower on top.  Looks like a celebration of some sort..

 The flowering trees came back again in Fall.  They aren't quite a bright or as full the second time but it is fun to see them again.

I don't know what this flower is but I love it with the white red and green!!!

Here is my favorite flower growing again in the fall.  It is like a giant dandilion  puff ball, but you can't blow it away.

This plant just started growing in a crack in the cement. 

This looks a lot like a palm tree -- the trunk and the beginning of branckes.  But the leafs are smaller and more delicate. I found out that this is a date tree. This below is where the last picture took off.

This  is not the kind of date tree that produces eatable dates.  This is the different stages of the  fruit I thought this was interesting.  There are the seeds, then three sizes of growing dates and then the dried dead ones(brown) up top.

The yellow are the seeds in a pod... It opens wider and wider until the seeds drop or are blown away.

I was standing looking at this one Sunday --What is this??  I was glad Sister Crowther knew it was a variety of a date tree.

Yes, they build the house right around the tree. Check out the picture below that is the tree poking out at the top.
